Gosset Grand Millesime 2012 Events Round-up

June was a busy month for Champagne Gosset. Not only did they launch the new Grand Millésime 2012 but they also launched the start of Matchmakers and were at the inaugural Taste Champagne event.

The launch of Grand Millesime 2012 was in two parts on Tuesday 11th June - a brunch at Tredwells followed by a dinner at The Frog.

Tredwells Chef Patron Chantelle Nicholson provided brunch while sommeliers and the media could drop in to taste the new vintage. This was also the launch of Gosset Matchmakers, a project now in its fourth year. The competition is designed to challenge young sommeliers and young chefs to create a fantastic dish to pair with one of their award-winning champagnes. Entrants must have been in the trade for less than 5 years. For more information on how to apply please email us.
